Here's a bright spot: Jimmy Eat World, the Mesa-based quartet fronted by Jim Adkins (above), will deliver Invented, its seventh album and first in three years, on Sept. 28 -- and the night after that the group will play the Wiltern, with We Were Promised Jetpacks opening.

All of those shows also go on sale Friday at 10 a.m.

Once he finishes up his Mayhem Festival dates, Rob Zombie will return to Southern California to team with ghoul-rock forebear Alice Cooper for The Halloween Hootenanny, Sept. 30 at Gibson Amphitheatre. Murderdoll will open for the self-described "Gruesome Twosome." Tickets, $25.75-$79.75, are on sale Friday at 10 a.m.
